I loved the podcast & would definitely follow it if you decided to continue it beyond the edX course. Can't wait to get...

more about things in the course material that are influencing your work on your own topics,

more food history moments (hiding in a vat of skyr has to be one of the best ever),

a visit from Zak.

Keep it up, guys. It's a much appreciated addition to the course material.
